Unlimited Top-ups, the Most Lavish Pay-to-win Live Streams Ever

90: Chapter 90 +10 Enhanced Factory First Launch”I thought it would be a tug-of-war, but Fu Hao dropped the ball.”

”Who could have guessed that the First Prince would be taken out so easily?”

”It’s all that guy’s own fault. If he hadn’t provoked us and hijacked our equipment, would he have ended up in this state today?”

The leaders of the Five Great Guilds were leading their members on a grand march toward the south, aiming straight for Fu Hao’s territory. Along the way, they chatted excitedly while traveling.

Fu Hao hadn’t streamed for three consecutive days, and the outside world generally speculated that he was avoiding the battle to escape the impending defeat.

”How can we be the only ones enjoying such an exciting situation? Since Fu Hao isn’t streaming, we’ll stream for him for the whole web to see.”

For this war, the Five Great Guilds mobilized a total of five hundred elite members—every one of them a standout among high-level players, with most being famous streamers who commanded tens of thousands of viewers.

Initially, they had maintained a stealth state to prevent information leaks.

But with the core objective of ”killing the First Prince” completed, there was no longer any need to hide the fact that they were participating in the civil war of the Rowen Kingdom. On the contrary, they were eager for the whole world to know that they were the ones who had personally ended it all.

After all, it was the series of disturbances caused by Fu Hao that had caused the reputation of the Five Great Guilds to hit rock bottom.

Now, if they could let everyone witness the entire process of their revenge, even if their reputation couldn’t be fully restored, they could at least rebuild a shred of prestige. Even if they couldn’t regain their prestige, as long as they could nail Fu Hao to the pillar of shame and humiliate him thoroughly, it would be enough to vent their anger.

Allen and Mecca hated Fu Hao to the bone. Ever since the Legendary Knight dungeon incident, they had been unable to contain themselves, wishing they could immediately use a teleportation gem to trample his territory into the ground. It was just a pity that the expensive cost of usage made them feel powerless.

The members sent by the Five Great Guilds this time were all exceptionally powerful, and the popularity of their affiliated streamers was through the roof—with anywhere from thousands to tens of thousands of viewers online.

As a massive live stream unfolded simultaneously, the live footage of the ”Prince Mian Allied Forces and the Five Great Guilds joining forces to march” quickly spread across the entire network, and major community forums were flooded with hot posts:

[Breaking News] Fu Hao is finished, one day countdown!

[Five Great Guilds flatten the battlefield, no suspense]

[1 vs 500, this is absurd]

[Did Fu Hao really run away? Abandoning his territory and fleeing?]

[What about the Legendary Knight guild leader? Leading the escape?]

[Prince Mian is getting serious! Mobilizing 600,000 troops for a crazy crush]

[teleportation gem cracking method get √]

”No wonder I always felt something was off; it turns out the Five Great Guilds were meddling in the dark.”

When Fu Hao browsed the game streaming page and official community, a cold sneer curled at the corner of his mouth. He had long guessed that there were players pushing things behind Prince Mian, but he hadn’t expected the instigators to be the Five Great Guilds entrenched in the Kalis Empire.

”Tracking... Movement Restriction Field...”

He had always wondered why the First Prince, who possessed a teleportation gem, had been killed so easily, and now the mystery was solved.

”Although their overall combat power is not yet as good as NPCs, the variety of player classes is indeed superior.”

The biggest difference between NPCs and players was whether they could receive system buffs.

The existence of ”Hidden Classes” alone was proof enough. Besides his own extremely special ”Enhancement Master,” players could trigger classes granted by the system based on achievements, while hidden classes with inheritance mechanisms like the ”Legendary Knight” were almost as rare as phoenix feathers among NPCs.

In other words, NPCs lacking system support had far less chance of awakening hidden classes than players.

”I didn’t expect the Five Great Guilds to have so many streamers... The reaction from the community is also quite enthusiastic.”

Watching the number of viewers in the Five Great Guilds’ streamers’ channels climb steadily—peaking at 500,000 concurrent viewers and cumulative views exceeding 1.5 million—Fu Hao’s eyes glittered.

To maximize the reversal effect, the primary prerequisite was to provoke public attention. If one waited until the outcome was revealed before reviewing the process, it would be difficult to create the necessary shock and drama.

Although the actions of the Five Great Guilds to piggyback on the hype and make money were disgusting, Fu Hao suppressed the urge to start streaming and continued to observe the movements of the Prince Mian Allied Forces and the Five Great Guilds with a cold eye. Then, he shifted his gaze to the newly built ”+10 Enhancement Factory.”

”This is an enhancement factory in the true sense.”

Watching three thousand Mimics, each identical to himself, simultaneously performing attribute conversion operations, Fu Hao showed a satisfied smile.

Previously, the enhancement factory established by the territory residents had taken shape, but it had obvious limitations: although his crystals were almost infinite, limited by the number of equipment and manual time, the residents could at most enhance equipment to +7, and attribute conversion could only be completed by him personally.

Now, this new factory controlled by Mimics, with ”Fates Luck” as its core, could not only mass-produce +10 equipment but also efficiently perform simultaneous attribute conversion, all because it perfectly replicated his ”Enhancement Master” skill.

”It’s a pity that the cooldown of the ’You Are Mine’ skill is too long.”

There were still a large number of Mimics in the cave that had not been subdued, and he wished he could drop everything and capture these potential combat forces with all his might.

However, the skill’s one-minute cooldown severely limited his efficiency. Even if he worked day and night without stopping, he could at most capture a thousand per day.

With the war imminent, he had to be content with this lineup of three thousand for now.

”Fortunately, there are still five thousand +7 bows left; the quantity should be enough.”

After successfully conquering the Lote Territory, Maya Territory, and Rena Territory, Fu Hao had entrusted the legendary blacksmith Calus and his master Rahim, along with dozens of high-level blacksmiths recruited from various places, to concentrate on forging bows and spears for actual combat.

Limited by time, only five thousand +7 enhanced bows were completed so far.

Although there was still a shortage of Mimics, he used the passive effect of the ”ring of the sage”—a 40% chance to reset skill cooldowns—to successfully expand the 3,000 uses of ”Fates Luck” to nearly 5,000.

What was even better was that the ring of the sage itself only needed one hour to reset its cooldown, allowing this expansion operation to be performed repeatedly and efficiently, greatly improving the overall enhancement efficiency.

”It’s useless to capture more Mimics; they can’t be enhanced to +10 in the short term.”

Another limitation of Mimics was that only one could be summoned at a time, and this limitation could only be lifted by breaking through to +10.

And it was during the enhancement process that Fu Hao discovered that when the enhancement mechanism was switched, if a ”Hero-grade Summoned Beast” was used as material, a rare Summoned Beast could be raised to +10 in one go.

He exhausted the rare and Hero-grade Summoned Beasts stored for the ”Black Wolf” just to barely manage to upgrade all three thousand Mimics.

Although he could easily obtain more Hero-grade Summoned Beasts with the ”You Are Mine” skill and the ”monster detector,” he was now stretched for time even to subdue them, let alone collect materials.

And even if the ”Fates Luck” skill could be used cyclically by alternately summoning Mimics, time-consuming operations like attribute conversion were still difficult to achieve in true mass production.

For Fu Hao, the value of Mimics went far beyond this.

Taking the ”Equipment Enhancement” skill as an example, its biggest problem was that materials and consumables could not be operated in batches. The presence of Mimics permanently at +10 just happened to greatly alleviate this limitation.

Looking at the mountain of 300-level +10 bows in the warehouse, each one fully stat-capped, even including rare affixes like ”reduced usage conditions,” he finally smiled with satisfaction.

”In one more day, it will all be finished—just in time for the Prince Mian army to arrive at the Earl’s territory.”

The Prince Mian Allied Forces would arrive at the newly acquired Levi Earl’s territory in one day. Since no garrison had been deployed there yet, it was expected that they would reach his core territory, ”Lepis Territory,” in two days.

Actually, Prince Mian could have advanced earlier, but to completely stifle any possibility of a counterattack, he had mobilized 600,000 troops, forcibly conscripting forces from various places, which significantly delayed the pace of the march, inadvertently giving him valuable preparation time.

”Your Majesty, the Levi Earl’s territory is confirmed to have no defenders.”

Scouts had long confirmed that the Levi Earl’s territory was empty, but Prince Mian only truly felt relieved after stepping foot there himself.

”Maybe it’s just like those adventurers in the Kalis Empire said; that guy has already fled.”

The Five Great Guilds took over the Levi Earl’s territory without much effort, and all members were suddenly jubilant and relieved. And those streamers announced ”victory” early, mocking wantonly in front of the camera:

”Didn’t I say so? Fu Hao definitely ran away! War is ultimately a head-to-head confrontation; no matter how strong a Legendary Knight is, he can’t withstand 600,000 troops.”

- ”Hahaha!”

- ”Fu Hao’s fans must be so angry they want to smash their keyboards right now, right?”

- ”This is retribution, instant karma!”

- ”Fu Hao chickened out, laughing to death, hahaha!”

One of the biggest features of live streaming was the existence of ”administrators”—streamers used permissions like banning and blocking to silence dissenting opinions, making it impossible for viewers who supported Fu Hao to speak up, and they could only watch helplessly as the chat area was flooded with endless abuse and ridicule.

Although the words were unbearable to listen to, most viewers were reluctant to leave. They didn’t expect Fu Hao to win; they just wanted to witness the end of this war with their own eyes.

To be precise—they were eager to see Fu Hao face the crusade of the Five Great Guilds in any way, even if he ended up defeated.

Just as the fans were on the verge of despair, members of the Five Great Guilds and the viewers simultaneously received a live stream push notification:

[”Fu Hao” has started streaming]

[Five Great Guilds, let’s get hyped!]

”What is th...”

Before the members of the Five Great Guilds could open Fu Hao’s live channel, the next instant, a sky full of arrows swept down like a blizzard—without warning, declaring the true beginning of the battle.
